Penny teacher
Right. Three names from me, then, if that's how you want it. Mine are on the pad by the kettle — I'm not reading them out over chips.

Fair. Mine are in the van, on the back of a delivery note — that's not a joke, that's where I wrote them. And Friday's yours; I'll put it in my phone now before I forget and it becomes a thing we argue about in March.
Penny teacher
You've gone quiet on the delivery note. What did you read into the pudding line — that I was asking you to prove something?
Algy designer
Yeah, a bit. When you count things out loud I hear the version where I'm short of the bar again — like the $6.20 card. Right, kettle on: salt and vinegar or ready salted, and I'll say the real thing after.
